My brother and I got a Taurus 605 for our mother as a birthday gift last year, and we've both taken a shine to it since, so a 6-shot variant would be all the more attractive. The Taurus 85/605 are great little snubbies for a low price, and a slightly bigger/heavier 6-shot model would be excellent for those who want just a bit more firepower.

I don't know if a 6 shot J frame 357 will be possible just due to metallurgy. The cylinder on these guns is a just a hair bigger than a 5 shot .38 J frame, and I bet the thin cylinder walls can't handle the pressure of a 357.
They do make one of the coolest revolvers ever, the 617, which is a L frame sized cylinder in a frame slightly smaller than a K frame with a J frame grip. It's a pocketable 7 shot 357. Mine has been perfect so far, but I wish like heck S&W would steal the idea and make a higher quality version.
